BACKGROUND

Conventional gene therapy involves the use of DNA for insertion ofdesired genetic information into host cells. The DNA introduced into thecell is usually integrated into the genome of one or more transfectedcells, allowing for long-lasting action of the introduced geneticmaterial in the host. While there may be substantial benefits to suchsustained action, integration of exogenous DNA into a host genome mayalso have many deleterious effects. For example, it is possible that theintroduced DNA will be inserted into an intact gene, resulting in amutation which impedes or even totally eliminates the function of theendogenous gene. Thus, gene therapy with DNA may result in theimpairment of a vital genetic function in the treated host, such ase.g., elimination or deleteriously reduced production of an essentialenzyme or interruption of a gene critical for the regulation of cellgrowth, resulting in unregulated or cancerous cell proliferation. Inaddition, with conventional DNA based gene therapy it is necessary foreffective expression of the desired gene product to include a strongpromoter sequence, which again may lead to undesirable changes in theregulation of normal gene expression in the cell. It is also possiblethat the DNA based genetic material will result in the induction ofundesired anti-DNA antibodies, which in turn, may trigger a possiblyfatal immune response.

In contrast to DNA, the use of RNA as a gene therapy agent issubstantially safer because (1) RNA does not involve the risk of beingstably integrated into the genome of the transfected cell, thuseliminating the concern that the introduced genetic material willdisrupt the normal functioning of an essential gene, or cause a mutationthat results in deleterious or oncogenic effects; (2) extraneouspromoter sequences are not required for effective translation of theencoded protein, again avoiding possible deleterious side effects; (3)in contrast to plasmid DNA (pDNA), messenger RNA (mRNA) is devoid ofimmunogenic CpG motifs so that anti-RNA antibodies are not generated;and (4) any deleterious effects that do result from mRNA based on genetherapy would be of limited duration due to the relatively shorthalf-life of RNA. Moreover in many applications, the transient nature ofmRNA transfer to cells, i.e., wherein the duration of any therapeuticeffect is limited by the life span of the mRNA and the protein productin the cells, is more desirable than the potentially longer lastingeffect achieved using DNA based gene therapy. In addition, it is notnecessary for mRNA to enter the nucleus to perform its function, thusavoiding a major barrier to DNA based gene therapy.

One reason that mRNA based gene therapy has not been used more in thepast is that mRNA is far less stable than DNA, especially when itreaches the cytoplasm of a cell and is exposed to degrading enzymes. Thepresence of a hydroxyl group on the second carbon of the sugar moiety inmRNA causes steric hinderance that prevents the mRNA from forming themore stable double helix structure of DNA and thus makes the mRNA moreprone to hydrolytic degradation. As a result, until recently, it waswidely believed that mRNA was too labile to withstand transfectionprotocols.

Advances in RNA stabilizing modifications have sparked more interest inthe use of mRNA in place of plasmid DNA in gene therapy. Yet, in spiteof increased stability of modified mRNA, delivery of mRNA to cells invivo in a manner allowing for therapeutic levels of protein productionis still a challenge, particularly for mRNA encoding full lengthproteins. Some success has been achieved using viral vectors tointroduce mRNA into a host, however mRNA transfection using viralvectors can result in an adverse immune response. In some circumstances,the viral vector may even integrate into the host genome. In addition,production of clinical grade viral vectors is also expensive and timeconsuming. Targeting delivery of the introduced genetic material usingviral vectors can also be difficult to control.

Non-viral delivery of mRNA can be achieved using injection of nakednucleic acids, polyplexes, lipoplexes or liposome entrapped mRNA,biolistic delivery via gene gun, particulate carrier mediated delivery,and electroporation. Non-viral transfection or delivery vehicles aregenerally less-toxic, less immunogenic, and easier and less expensive toprepare than viral vectors for delivery of mRNA. Certain deliveryvehicles, such as cationic lipid or polymer delivery vehicles may alsohelp protect the transfected mRNA from endogenous RNases.

Liposomal delivery of nucleic acids has been employed as a means ofeffectuating the site-specific delivery of encapsulated plasmid DNA,antisense oligonucleotides, short interfering RNA and microRNA-basedtherapies. However the efficient, therapeutically effective, delivery ofmRNAs to targeted cells and tissues, as well as the subsequenttransfection of such targeted cells and tissues remains a technicalchallenge, particularly for delivery of mRNAs encoding full lengthproteins. It is important to design liposomal delivery systems thatprovide sufficient stability to reach desired target cells and theability to efficiently release their encapsulated materials to suchtarget cells to allow for translation of functional protein attherapeutically effective levels.

Many cationic lipids that are employed to construct such liposomal-baseddelivery vehicles are toxic to the targeted cells when used to delivertherapeutically effective amounts of the encapsulated agent.Accordingly, the toxicity associated with cationic lipid represents asignificant obstacle to their general use as non-viral deliveryvehicles, particularly in the quantities necessary to successfullydeliver therapeutically effective amounts of mRNA to target cells.

To date, significant progress using mRNA gene therapy has been made inapplications, particularly for which low levels of translation has notbeen a limiting factor, such as immunization with mRNA encodingantigens. Clinical trials involving vaccination against tumor antigensby intradermal injection of naked or protamine-complexed mRNA havedemonstrated feasibility, lack of toxicity, and promising results. X. Suet al., Mol. Pharmaceutics 8:774-787 (2011). However, low levels oftranslation can restrict the exploitation of mRNA based gene therapy inother applications which require higher levels of sustained stability ofthe mRNA encoded protein to exert a prolonged biological or therapeuticeffect.

In addition, because mRNA gene therapy benefits are relatively transientas compared to DNA based gene therapy, repeated administration, andtypically by injection, are often required to provide long term effects.Thus, more efficient transfection in vivo and the ability to delivermRNA noninvasively and/or to mucosal sites would improve the prospectsfor successful application of mRNA gene therapy.

SUMMARY

Various aspects of the invention are described in detail in thefollowing sections. The use of sections is not meant to limit theinvention. Each section can apply to any aspect of the invention. Inthis application, the use of“or” means “and/or” unless stated otherwise.

mRNA and mRNA Synthesis

mRNAs according to the present invention may be synthesized according toany of a variety of known methods. For example, mRNAs according to thepresent invention may be synthesized via in vitro transcription (IVT).Briefly, IVT is typically performed with a linear or circular DNAtemplate containing a promoter, a pool of ribonucleotide triphosphates,a buffer system that may include DTT and magnesium ions, and anappropriate RNA polymerase (e.g., T3. T7 or SP6 RNA polymerase), DNAseI, pyrophosphatase, and/or RNAse inhibitor. The exact conditions willvary according to the specific application.

In some embodiments, for the preparation of mRNA according to theinvention, a DNA template is transcribed in vitro. A suitable DNAtemplate typically has a promoter, for example a T3, T7 or SP6 promoter,for in vitro transcription, followed by desired nucleotide sequence fora desired mRNA and a termination signal.

Desired mRNA sequence according to the invention may be determined andincorporated into a DNA template using standard methods. For example,starting from a desired amino acid sequence a virtual reversetranslation is carried out based on the degenerated genetic code.Optimization algorithms may then be used for selection of suitablecodons. Typically, the G/C content can be optimized to achieve thehighest possible G/C content on one hand, taking into the best possibleaccount the frequency of the tRNAs according to codon usage on the otherhand. The optimized RNA sequence can be established and displayed, forexample, with the aid of an appropriate display device and compared withthe original (wild-type) sequence. A secondary structure can also beanalyzed to calculate stabilizing and destabilizing properties or,respectively, regions of the RNA.

mRNA according to the present invention may be synthesized as unmodifiedor modified mRNA. In some embodiments, the mRNA may include one or morechemical or structural modifications to abrogate mRNA interaction withtoll-like receptors TLR3, TLR7. TLR8, and retinoid-inducible gene I(RIG-I) to reduce immunogenicity as well as improve stability of themRNA.

For example, in certain embodiments, the mRNA may be modified asdescribed in U.S. patent publication 2009/0286852 (incorporated hereinby reference), to comprise one or more pseudouridine residues. Kormannet al., Nature Biotechnology 29(2):154-157 (2011) describe replacementof uridine and cytidine with 2-thiouridine and 5-methylcytidine tosynergistically decrease mRNA binding to pattern recognition receptorsTLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and RIG-I and increase stability of the mRNA. SeeEP2459231. In yet other embodiments, the mRNA may be modified to reduceimmunogenicity as described in European Application EP10742089(incorporated herein by reference).

In other embodiments, modifications of mRNA can include, for example,modifications of the nucleotides of the RNA. An modified mRNA accordingto the invention can thus include, for example, backbone modifications,sugar modifications or base modifications. In some embodiments, mRNAsencoding a protein of interest may be synthesized from naturallyoccurring nucleotides and/or nucleotide analogues (modified nucleotides)including, but not limited to, purines (adenine (A), guanine (G)) orpyrimidines (thymine (T), cytosine (C), uracil (U)), and as modifiednucleotides analogues or derivatives of purines and pyrimidines, such ase.g. 1-methyl-adenine, 2-methyl-adenine,2-methylthio-N-6-isopentenyl-adenine, N6-methyl-adenine,N6-isopentenyl-adenine, 2-thio-cytosine, 3-methyl-cytosine,4-acetyl-cytosine, 5-methyl-cytosine, 2,6-diaminopurine,1-methyl-guanine, 2-methyl-guanine, 2,2-dimethyl-guanine,7-methyl-guanine, inosine, 1-methyl-inosine, pseudouracil (5-uracil),dihydro-uracil, 2-thio-uracil, 4-thio-uracil,5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2-thio-uracil,5-(carboxyhydroxymethyl)-uracil, 5-fluoro-uracil, 5-bromo-uracil,5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-uracil, 5-methyl-2-thio-uracil,5-methyl-uracil, N-uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methyl ester,5-methylaminomethyl-uracil, 5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thio-uracil,5′-methoxycarbonylmethyl-uracil, 5-methoxy-uracil, uracil-5-oxyaceticacid methyl ester, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid (v), 1-methyl-pseudouracil,queosine, .beta.-D-mannosyl-queosine, wybutoxosine, andphosphoramidates, phosphorothioates, peptide nucleotides,methylphosphonates, 7-deazaguanosine, 5-methylcytosine and inosine. Thepreparation of such analogues is known to a person skilled in the arte.g. from the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,373,071, 4,401,796, 4,415,732.

In some embodiments, mRNAs may contain RNA backbone modifications.Typically, a backbone modification is a modification in which thephosphates of the backbone of the nucleotides contained in the RNA aremodified chemically. Exemplary backbone modifications typically include,but are not limited to, modifications from the group consisting ofmethylphosphonates, methylphosphoramidates, phosphoramidates,phosphorothioates (e.g. cytidine 5′-O-(1-thiophosphate)),boranophosphates, positively charged guanidinium groups etc., whichmeans by replacing the phosphodiester linkage by other anionic, cationicor neutral groups.

In some embodiments, mRNAs may contain sugar modifications. A typicalsugar modification is a chemical modification of the sugar of thenucleotides it contains including, but not limited to, sugarmodifications chosen from the group consisting of2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-oligoribonucleotide (2′-fluoro-2′-deoxycytidine5′-triphosphate, 2′-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate),2′-deoxy-2′-deamine-oligoribonucleotide (2′-amino-2′-deoxycytidine5′-triphosphate, 2′-amino-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate),2′-O-alkyloligoribonucleotide, 2′-deoxy-2′-C-alkyloligoribonucleotide(2′-O-methylcytidine 5′-triphosphate, 2′-methyluridine 5′-triphosphate),2′-C-alkyloligoribonucleotide, and isomers thereof (2′-araeytidine5′-triphosphate, 2′-arauridine 5′-triphosphate), or azidotriphosphates(2′-azido-2′-deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate, 2′-azido-2′-deoxyuridine5′-triphosphate).

In some embodiments, mRNAs may contain modifications of the bases of thenucleotides (base modifications). A modified nucleotide which contains abase modification is also called a base-modified nucleotide. Examples ofsuch base-modified nucleotides include, but are not limited to,2-amino-6-chloropurine riboside 5′-triphosphate, 2-aminoadenosine5′-triphosphate, 2-thiocytidine 5′-triphosphate, 2-thiouridine5′-triphosphate, 4-thiouridine 5′-triphosphate, 5-aminoallylcytidine5′-triphosphate, 5-aminoallyluridine 5′-triphosphate, 5-bromocytidine5′-triphosphate, 5-bromouridine 5′-triphosphate, 5-iodocytidine5′-triphosphate, 5-iodouridine 5′-triphosphate, 5-methylcytidine5′-triphosphate, 5-methyluridine 5′-triphosphate, 6-azacytidine5′-triphosphate, 6-azauridine 5′-triphosphate, 6-chloropurine riboside5′-triphosphate, 7-deazaadenosine 5′-triphosphate, 7-deazaguanosine5′-triphosphate, 8-azaadenosine 5′-triphosphate, 8-azidoadenosine5′-triphosphate, benzimidazole riboside 5′-triphosphate,N1-methyladenosine 5′-triphosphate, N1-methylguanosine 5′-triphosphate,N6-methyladenosine 5′-triphosphate, 06-methylguanosine 5′-triphosphate,pseudouridine 5′-triphosphate, puromycin 5′-triphosphate or xanthosine5′-triphosphate.

In certain embodiments, stabilizing modifications may be made to eitheror both the 3′ and 5′ ends of the mRNA and include, e.g., end capping,polyA tail, replacement of unstable non-coding sequences (such asadenylate uridylate rich elements (AREs) or addition or 3′ or 5′untranslated sequences from stable mRNA (such as, e.g., β-globin, actin,GAPDH, tubulin, histone, or citric acid cycle enzyme mRNA). Stabilizingmodifications may also be made within the mRNA, and include, e.g., codonoptimization and/or modification of the Kozak sequence, and/orincorporation of modified nucleosides (such as, e.g.,pyrrolo-pyrimidine, C5-iodouridine, 2-amino adenosine, and2-thiothymidine). In certain embodiments, the modified mRNA used in themethods and compositions of the invention include a 5′ untranslatedsequence from CMV immediate-early 1 (IE1) gene:

In addition to increasing the stability of the mRNA polynucleotidesequence, it has been surprisingly discovered the inclusion of theuntranslated sequence of CMV immediate-early 1 (IE1) gene and/or theuntranslated sequence from the hGH gene further enhances the translationof the mRNA.

Typically, mRNA synthesis includes the addition of a “cap” on theN-terminal (5′) end, and a “tail” on the C-terminal (3′) end. Thepresence of the cap is important in providing resistance to nucleasesfound in most eukaryotic cells. The presence of a “tail” serves toprotect the mRNA from exonuclease degradation.

Thus, in some embodiments, mRNAs of the current invention include a 5′cap structure. A 5′ cap is typically added as follows: first, an RNAterminal phosphatase removes one of the terminal phosphate groups fromthe 5′ nucleotide, leaving two terminal phosphates; guanosinetriphosphate (GTP) is then added to the terminal phosphates via aguanylyl transferase, producing a 5′5′5 triphosphate linkage; and the7-nitrogen of guanine is then methylated by a methyltransferase.Examples of cap structures include, but are not limited to, m7G(5′)ppp(5′(A,G(5′)ppp(5′)A and G(5′)ppp(5′)G.

In some embodiments, mRNAs of the current invention include a 3′ poly(A)tail structure. A poly-A tail on the 3′ terminus of mRNA typicallyincludes about 10 to 300 adenosine nucleotides (e.g., about 10 to 200adenosine nucleotides, about 10 to 150 adenosine nucleotides, about 10to 100 adenosine nucleotides, about 20 to 70 adenosine nucleotides, orabout 20 to 60 adenosine nucleotides). In some embodiments, mRNAs of thecurrent invention include a 3′ poly(C) tail structure. A suitable poly-Ctail on the 3′ terminus of mRNA typically include about 10 to 200cytosine nucleotides (e.g., about 10 to 150 cytosine nucleotides, about10 to 100 cytosine nucleotides, about 20 to 70 cytosine nucleotides,about 20 to 60 cytosine nucleotides, or about 10 to 40 cytosinenucleotides). The poly-C tail may be added to the poly-A tail or maysubstitute the poly-A tail.

In some embodiments, mRNAs of the current invention include a 5′ and/or3′ untranslated region. In some embodiments, a 5′ untranslated regionincludes one or more elements that affect an mRNA's stability ortranslation, for example, an iron responsive element. In someembodiments, a 5′ untranslated region may be between about 50 and 500nucleotides in length.

In some embodiments, a 3′ untranslated region includes one or more of apolyadenylation signal, a binding site for proteins that affect anmRNA's stability of location in a cell, or one or more binding sites formiRNAs. In some embodiments, a 3′ untranslated region may be between 50and 500 nucleotides in length or longer.

In certain embodiments, the mRNA used in the compositions and methods ofthe invention may encode an antibody. In some embodiments, the mRNA mayencode a protein that is made up of subunits that are encoded by morethan one gene. For example, the protein may be a heterodimer, whereineach chain or subunit of the is encoded by a separate gene.Alternatively, a single mRNA may be engineered to encode more than onesubunit. In one embodiment, the mRNA may encode full length antibodies(both heavy and light chains of the variable and constant regions) orfragments of antibodies (e.g. Fab, Fv, or a single chain Fv (scFv) toconfer immunity to a subject.

As used herein, the term “heavy chain” encompasses all types ofnaturally-occurring heavy chains of different classes ofimmunoglobulins, including but not limited to, IgM(μ), IgD (δ), IgG(γ),IgA(α), and IgE(ε), and biologically active variants thereof. Typically,a heavy chain according to the present invention contains the N-terminalvariable region responsible for antigen recognition, typically includingCDR 1, CDR 2 and CDR 3, separated by four framework regions (FR1, FR2,FR2, and FR4). Typically, the N-terminal variable region contains about100 to 110 or more amino acids. In some embodiments, a heavy chainaccording to the present invention contains one or more of constantdomains (e.g., C_(H)1, C_(H)2, and/or C_(H)3). In some embodiments, anmRNA encoding a heavy chain of an antibody is of or greater than 0.3 kb,0.5 kb, 0.75 kb, 1.0 kb, 1.25 kb, 1.5 kb, 1.75 kb, 2.0 kb, 2.5 kb, 3.0kb, 3.5 kb, 4.0 kb in length.

Typically, a light chain accordingto the present invention comprises an N-terminal variable domain(V_(L)). In some embodiments, a light chain according to the presentinvention contains a C-terminal constant domain (C_(L)). In someembodiments, an mRNA encoding a light chain of an antibody is of orgreater than 0.1 kb, 0.2 kb, 0.3 kb, 0.4 kb, 0.5 kb, 0.6 kb, 0.7 kb, 0.8kb, 0.9 kb, 1.0 kb, 1.25 kb, 1.5 kb, 1.75 kb, 2.0 kb, 2.5 kb, or 3.0 kbin length.

According to the present invention, a heavy chain and light chain of anantibody may be encoded and delivered by a single mRNA or separatemRNAs. It is contemplated that it may be advantageous to deliver heavychain encoding mRNA and light chain encoding mRNA at varying ratios inorder to optimize production of fully assembled functional antibodies.

In some embodiments, the mRNA may additionally encode one or moresecretory leader sequences which are operably linked to and directsecretion of an antibody, antibody fragment(s), or other protein(s).Suitable secretory leader sequences are described, for example, in US2008/0286834 A1. While one embodiment of the present invention relatesto methods and compositions useful for conferring immunity to a subject(e.g., via the translation of mRNA encoding functional antibodies), theinventions disclosed herein and contemplated hereby are broadlyapplicable. In an alternative embodiment the compositions of the presentinvention encode antibodies that may be used to transiently orchronically effect a functional response in subjects. For example, themRNA of the present invention may encode a functional monoclonal orpolyclonal antibody, which upon translation and secretion from targetcell may be useful for targeting and/or inactivating a biological target(e.g., a stimulatory cytokine such as tumor necrosis factor).

Lipid Carrier Vehicles

The use of lipid carrier vehicles to facilitate the delivery of nucleicacids to target cells is contemplated by the present invention. Lipidcarrier vehicles (e.g., liposomes and lipid-derived nanoparticles) aregenerally useful in a variety of applications in research, industry, andmedicine, particularly for their use as transfer vehicles of diagnosticor therapeutic compounds in vivo (Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16:307-321, 1998; Drummond et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 51: 691-743, 1999) andare usually characterized as microscopic vesicles having an interioraqua space sequestered from an outer medium by a membrane of one or morebilayers. Bilayer membranes of liposomes are typically formed byamphiphilic molecules, such as lipids of synthetic or natural originthat comprise spatially separated hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains(Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16: 307-321, 1998). Bilayer membranes of theliposomes can also be formed by amphiphilic polymers and surfactants(e.g., polymerosomes, niosomes, etc.).

In the context of the present invention, a lipid carrier vehicletypically serves to transport mRNA to a target cell. One unexpected andadvantageous feature of the current invention, was the observation thatpulmonary administration of mRNA, which is encapsulated within a lipidcarrier vehicle, results in delivery of mRNA and/or the protein tonon-lung tissue and cells. For the purposes of the present invention,the liposomal transfer vehicles are prepared to contain the desirednucleic acids. The process of incorporation of a desired entity (e.g., anucleic acid) into a liposome is often referred to as “loading” (Lasic,et al., FEBS Lett., 312: 255-258, 1992). The liposome-incorporatednucleic acids may be completely or be partially located in the interiorspace of the liposome, within the bilayer membrane of the liposome, orassociated with the exterior surface of the liposome membrane. Theincorporation of a nucleic acid into liposomes is also referred toherein as “encapsulation” wherein the nucleic acid is entirely containedwithin the interior space of the liposome. The purpose of incorporatinga mRNA into a transfer vehicle, such as a liposome, is often to protectthe nucleic acid from an environment which may contain enzymes orchemicals that degrade nucleic acids and/or systems or receptors thatcause the rapid excretion of the nucleic acids. Accordingly, in someembodiments of the present invention, the selected transfer vehicle iscapable of enhancing the stability of the mRNA contained therein. Theliposome can allow the encapsulated mRNA to reach the target cell and/ormay preferentially allow the encapsulated mRNA to reach non-lung tissueand cells, following pulmonary delivery.

In some embodiments, a suitable lipid carrier vehicle is formulated as alipid nanoparticle. As used herein, the phrase “lipid nanoparticle” and“lipid carrier vehicle” and “lipid-derived nanoparticle” are all usedinterchangeably, and refer to a delivery vehicle comprising one or morelipids (e.g., cationic lipids, non-cationic lipids, cholesterol-basedlipids, and PEG-modified lipids). The contemplated lipid nanoparticlesmay be prepared by including multi-component lipid mixtures of varyingratios employing one or more cationic lipids, non-cationic lipids,cholesterol-based lipids, and PEG-modified lipids. Examples of suitablelipids include, for example, the phosphatidyl compounds (e.g.,phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine,phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingolipids, cerebrosides, andgangliosides).

Cationic liposome/mRNA complexes can help to protect mRNA from enzymaticdegradation and facilitate intracellular delivery by interacting withthe negatively charged cell membrane. However, the cationic surface ofthese lipoplexes also mediates strong interactions with negativelycharged proteins that serve to reduce the half-life of the lipoplexes invivo. This effect may be reduced by employing one or more of a mechanismto reduce the interaction between the cationic liposome/mRNA complex andnegatively charged proteins. In most embodiments, the delivery vehiclesused in the compositions and methods of the invention comprisenanoparticles constructed from a combination of one or more cationiclipids, non-cationic lipids, such as neutral or helper lipids, andPEG-modified lipids.

Lipid Nanoparticles

In some embodiments, a suitable delivery vehicle is formulated as alipid nanoparticle. Lipid nanoparticles of the current inventioncomprise one or more lipids (e.g., cationic lipids, non-cationic lipids,cholesterol-based lipids, and PEG-modified lipids). Also contemplated isthe use of polymers as transfer vehicles, whether alone or incombination with other delivery vehicles. In some embodiments, thedelivery vehicle is selected based upon its ability to facilitatepulmonary delivery and translocation to non-lung tissue.

As used herein, liposomal delivery vehicles, e.g. lipid nanoparticles,are usually characterized as microscopic vesicles having an interioraqua space sequestered from an outer medium by a membrane of one or morebilayers. Bilayer membranes of liposomes are typically formed byamphiphilic molecules, such as lipids of synthetic or natural originthat comprise spatially separated hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains(Lasic, Trends Biotechnol., 16: 307-321, 1998). Bilayer membranes of theliposomes can also be formed by amphiphilic polymers and surfactants(e.g., polymerosomes, niosomes, etc.). In the context of the presentinvention, a liposomal delivery vehicle typically serves to transport adesired mRNA to a target tissue. The incorporation of a nucleic acidinto liposomes is also referred to herein as “encapsulation” wherein thenucleic acid is entirely contained within the interior space of theliposome. The purpose of incorporating a mRNA into a transfer vehicle,such as a liposome, is often to protect the nucleic acid from anenvironment which may contain enzymes or chemicals that degrade nucleicacids and/or systems or receptors that cause the rapid excretion of thenucleic acids. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a suitable deliveryvehicle is capable of enhancing the stability of the mRNA containedtherein and/or facilitate the delivery of mRNA to the target cell ortissue.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the carrier is formulated usinga polymer as a carrier, alone or in combination with other carriers.Suitable polymers may include, for example, polyacrylates,polyalkylcyanoacrylates, polylactide, polylactide-polyglycolidecopolymers, polycaprolactones, dextran, albumin, gelatin, alginate,collagen, chitosan, cyclodextrins, protamine, PEGylated protamine, PLL,PEGylated PLL and polyethylenimine (PEI). When PEI is present, it may bebranched PEI of a molecular weight ranging from 10 to 40 kDA, e.g., 25kDa branched PEI (Sigma #408727).

In some embodiments, a suitable delivery vehicle contains a cationiclipid. As used herein, the phrase “cationic lipid” refers to any of anumber of lipid species that have a net positive charge at a selectedpH, such as physiological pH. Several cationic lipids have beendescribed in the literature, many of which are commercially available.Particularly suitable cationic lipids for use in the compositions andmethods of the invention include those described in international patentpublications WO 2010/053572 (and particularly, CI 2-200 described atparagraph [00225]) and WO 2012/170930, both of which are incorporatedherein by reference.

In some embodiments, the cationic lipid may comprise a molar ratio ofabout 1% to about 90%, about 2% to about 70%, about 5% to about 50%,about 10% to about 40% of the total lipid present in the transfervehicle, or preferably about 20% to about 70% of the total lipid presentin the transfer vehicle.

The use of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified phospholipids andderivatized lipids such as derivatized cerarmides (PEG-CER), includingN-Octanoyl-Sphingosine-1-[Succinyl(Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol)-2000](C8 PEG-2000 ceramide) is also contemplated by the present invention,either alone or preferably in combination with other lipids togetherwhich comprise the transfer vehicle (e.g., a lipid nanoparticle).Contemplated PEG-modified lipids include, but is not limited to, apolyethylene glycol chain of up to 5 kDa in length covalently attachedto a lipid with alkyl chain(s) of C6-C20 length. The addition of suchcomponents may prevent complex aggregation and may also provide a meansfor increasing circulation lifetime and increasing the delivery of thelipid-nucleic acid composition to the target cell, (Klibanov et al.(1990) FEBS Letters, 268 (1): 235-237), or they may be selected torapidly exchange out of the formulation in vivo (see U.S. Pat. No.5,885,613).

Particularly useful exchangeable lipids are PEG-ceramides having shorteracyl chains (e.g., C14 or C18). The PEG-modified phospholipid andderivitized lipids of the present invention may comprise a molar ratiofrom about 0% to about 20%, about 0.5% to about 20%, about 1% to about15%, about 4% to about 10%, or about 2% of the total lipid present inthe liposomal transfer vehicle.

The present invention also contemplates the use of non-cationic lipids.As used herein, the phrase “non-cationic lipid” refers to any neutral,zwitterionic or anionic lipid. As used herein, the phrase “anioniclipid” refers to any of a number of lipid species that carry a netnegative charge at a selected H, such as physiological pH. Non-cationiclipids include, but are not limited to, distearoylphosphatidylcholine(DSPC), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC),dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholinc (DPPC), dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol(DOPG), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG),dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE),palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC),palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE),dioleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (DOPE-mal), dipalmitoylphosphatidyl ethanolamine (DPPE), dimyristoylphosphoethanolamine (DMPE),distearoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DSPE), 16-O-monomethyl PE,16-O-dimethyl PE, 18-1-trans PE,1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidyethanolamine (SOPE), cholesterol, or amixture thereof. Such non-cationic lipids may be used alone, but arepreferably used in combination with other excipients, for example,cationic lipids. When used in combination with a cationic lipid, thenon-cationic lipid may comprise a molar ratio of 5% to about 90%, orpreferably about 10% to about 70% of the total lipid present in thetransfer vehicle.

In particular embodiments, a suitable transfer vehicle (e.g., a lipidnanoparticle) is prepared by combining multiple lipid and/or polymercomponents. For example, a transfer vehicle may be prepared usingC12-200, DOPE, chol, DMG-PEG2K at a molar ratio of 40:30:25:5, or DODAP,DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG2K at a molar ratio of 18:56:20:6, or HGT5000,DOPE, chol, DMG-PEG2K at a molar ratio of 40:20:35:5, or HGT5001, DOPE,chol, DMG-PEG2K at a molar ratio of 40:20:35:5. The selection ofcationic lipids, non-cationic lipids and/or PEG-modified lipids whichcomprise the lipid nanoparticle, as well as the relative molar ratio ofsuch lipids to each other, is based upon the characteristics of theselected lipid(s), the nature of the intended target cells, thecharacteristics of the mRNA to be delivered. Additional considerationsinclude, for example, the saturation of the alkyl chain, as well as thesize, charge, pH, pKa, fusogenicity and toxicity of the selectedlipid(s). Thus the molar ratios may be adjusted accordingly. Forexample, in embodiments, the percentage of cationic lipid in the lipidnanoparticle may be greater than 10%, greater than 20%, greater than30%, greater than 40%, greater than 50%, greater than 60%, or greaterthan 70%.

The lipid carrier vehicles for use in the compositions of the inventioncan be prepared by various techniques which are presently known in theart. Multilamellar vesicles (MLV) may be prepared conventionaltechniques, for example, by depositing a selected lipid on the insidewall of a suitable container or vessel by dissolving the lipid in anappropriate solvent, and then evaporating the solvent to leave a thinfilm on the inside of the vessel or by spray drying. An aqueous phasemay then added to the vessel with a vortexing motion which results inthe formation of MLVs. Uni-lamellar vesicles (ULV) can then be formed byhomogenization, sonication or extrusion of the multi-lamellar vesicles.In addition, unilamellar vesicles can be formed by detergent removaltechniques.

In certain embodiments of this invention, the compositions of thepresent invention comprise a transfer vehicle wherein the mRNA isassociated on both the surface of the transfer vehicle and encapsulatedwithin the same transfer vehicle. For example, during preparation of thecompositions of the present invention, cationic liposomal transfervehicles may associate with the mRNA through electrostatic interactions.For example, during preparation of the compositions of the presentinvention, cationic liposomal transfer vehicles may associate with themRNA through electrostatic interactions.

In some embodiments, the compositions and methods of the inventioncomprise mRNA encapsulated in a lipid carrier vehicle. In someembodiments, the one or more mRNA species may be encapsulated in thesame lipid carrier vehicle. In some embodiments, the one or more mRNAspecies may be encapsulated in different lipid carrier vehicles. In someembodiments, the mRNA is encapsulated in one or more lipid carriervehicles, which differ in their lipid composition, molar ratio of lipidcomponents, size, charge (Zeta potential), targeting ligands and/orcombinations thereof. In some embodiments, the one or more lipid carriervehicles may have a different composition of cationic lipids, neutrallipid, PEG-modified lipid and/or combinations thereof. In someembodiments the one or more lipid carrier vehicles may have a differentmolar ratio of cationic lipid, neutral lipid, cholesterol andPEG-modified lipid used to create the lipid carrier vehicle.

Delivery Methods

The route of delivery used in the methods of the invention allows fornon-invasive, self-administration of the therapeutic compositions of theinvention. The methods of the invention involve intratracheal orpulmonary administration by aerosolization, nebulization, orinstillation of compositions comprising mRNA encoding a therapeuticprotein in a suitable transfection or lipid carrier vehicles asdescribed above.

Although the local cells and tissues of the lung represent a potentialtarget capable of functioning as a biological depot or reservoir forproduction and secretion of the protein encoded by the mRNA, applicantshave discovered that administration of the compositions of the inventionto the lung via aerosolization, nebulization, or instillation results inthe distribution of even non-secreted proteins outside the lung cells.Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is contemplatedthat nanoparticle compositions of the invention pass, through the lungairway-blood barrier, resulting in translation of the intactnanoparticle to non-lung cells and tissues, such as, e.g., the heart,the liver, the spleen, where it results in the production of the encodedprotein in these non-lung tissues. Thus, the utility of the compositionsand methods of the invention extend beyond production of therapeuticprotein in lung cells and tissues of the lung and can be used todelivery to non-lung target cells and/or tissues They are useful in themanagement and treatment of a large number of diseases, and inparticular peripheral diseases which result from both secreted andnon-secreted protein and/or enzyme deficiencies (e.g., one or morelysosomal storage disorders). In certain embodiments, the compositionsof the invention, used in the methods of the invention result in thedistribution of the mRNA encapsulated nanoparticles and production ofthe encoded protein in the liver, spleen, heart, and/or other non-lungcells. For example, administration of the compositions of the presentinventions, such as, e.g., a nanoparticle comprising mRNA encoding betagalactosidase (a non-secreted protein), by aerosolization, nebulization,or instillation to the lung will result in the composition itself andits protein product (e.g., functional beta galactosidase protein) willbe detectable in both the local cells and tissues of the lung, as wellas in peripheral target cells, tissues and organs as a result oftranslocation of the mRNA and delivery vehicle to non-lung cells.

In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention may beemployed in the methods of the invention to specifically targetperipheral cells or tissues. Following the pulmonary delivery, it iscontemplated that the compositions of the invention cross the lungairway-blood barrier and distribute into cells other than the local lungcells. Accordingly, the compositions disclosed herein may beadministered to a subject by way of the pulmonary route ofadministration, using a variety of approach known by those skilled inthe art (e.g., by inhalation), and distribute to both the local targetcells and tissues of the lung, as well as in peripheral non-lung cellsand tissues (e.g., cells of the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, skeletalmuscle, lymph nodes, brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma). As aresult, both the local cells of the lung and the peripheral non-lungcells can serve as biological reservoirs or depots capable of producingand/or secreting a translation product encoded by one or morepolynucleotides. Accordingly, the present inventions are not limited tothe treatment of lung diseases or conditions, but rather can be used asa non-invasive means of facilitating the delivery of polynucleotides, orthe production of enzymes and proteins encoded thereby, in peripheralorgans, tissues and cells (e.g., hepatocytes) which would otherwise beachieved only by systemic administration. Exemplary peripheral non-lungcells include, but are not limited to, hepatocytes, epithelial cells,hematopoietic cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, bone cells,stem cells, mesenchymal cells, neural cells, cardiac cells, adipocytes,vascular smooth muscle cells, cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle cells,beta cells, pituitary cells, synovial lining cells, ovarian cells,testicular cells, fibroblasts, B cells, T cells, reticulocytes,leukocytes, granulocytes and tumor cells.

Following administration of the composition to the subject, the proteinproduct encoded by the mRNA (e.g., a functional protein or enzyme) isdetectable in the peripheral target tissues for at least about one toseven days or longer following administration of the composition to thesubject. The amount of protein product necessary to achieve atherapeutic effect will vary depending on the condition being treated,the protein encoded, and the condition of the patient. For example, theprotein product may be detectable in the peripheral target tissues at aconcentration (e.g., a therapeutic concentration) of at least 0.025-1.5μg/ml (e.g., at least 0.050 μg/ml, at least 0.075 μg/ml, at least 0.1μg/ml, at least 0.2 μg/ml, at least 0.3 μg/ml, at least 0.4 μg/ml, atleast 0.5 jpg/ml, at least 0.6 μg/ml, at least 0.7 μg/ml, at least 0.8μg/ml, at least 0.9 μg/ml, at least 1.0 μg/ml, at least 1.1 μg/ml, atleast 1.2 μg/ml, at least 1.3 μg/ml, at least 1.4 μg/ml, or at least 1.5μg/ml), for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35,40, 45 days or longer following administration of the composition to thesubject.

It has been demonstrated that nucleic acids can be delivered to thelungs by intratracheal administration of a liquid suspension of thenucleic acid composition and inhalation of an aerosol mist produced by aliquid nebulizer or the use of a dry powder apparatus such as thatdescribed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,780,014, incorporated herein by reference.

In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention may beformulated such that they may be aerosolized or otherwise delivered as aparticulate liquid or solid prior to or upon administration to thesubject. Such compositions may be administered with the assistance ofone or more suitable devices for administering such solid or liquidparticulate compositions (such as, e.g., an aerosolized aqueous solutionor suspension) to generate particles that are easily respirable orinhalable by the subject. In some embodiments, such devices (e.g., ametered dose inhaler, jet-nebulizer, ultrasonic nebulizer,dry-powder-inhalers, propellant-based inhaler or an insufflator)facilitate the administration of a predetermined mass, volume or dose ofthe compositions (e.g., about 0.5 mg/kg of mRNA per dose) to thesubject. For example, in certain embodiments, the compositions of theinvention are administered to a subject using a metered dose inhalercontaining a suspension or solution comprising the composition and asuitable propellant. In certain embodiments, the compositions of theinvention may be formulated as a particulate powder (e.g., respirabledry particles) intended for inhalation. In certain embodiments,compositions of the invention formulated as respirable particles areappropriately sized such that they may be respirable by the subject ordelivered using a suitable device (e.g., a mean D50 or D90 particle sizeless than about 500 μm, 400 μm, 300 μm, 250 μm, 200 μm, 150 μm, 100 μm,75 μm, 50 μm, 25 μm, 20 μm, 15 μm, 12.5 μm, 10 μm, 5 μm, 2.5 μm orsmaller). In yet other embodiments, the compositions of the inventionare formulated to include one or more pulmonary surfactants (e.g.,lamellar bodies).

EXAMPLES Example 1: Comparison of Unmodified and Modified mRNA in NakedForm or in Nanoparticles by Intratracheal Administration

Overview: Mice were intratracheally (IT) sprayed either with unmodifiedor modified mRNA (25% of both cytidine-5′-triphosphate anduridine-5′-triphosphate were replaced by5-methylcytidine-5′-triphosphate and 2-thiouridine-5′-triphosphate,respectively) coding for firefly luciferase (FFL) either in naked formor encapsulated in lipid based nanoparticles (NPs) for single doseadministration. Luciferase production was measured by in vivoBioluminescence Imaging (BLI) at different time points post IT spray.Organs from mice treated with C12-200 based NPs at a dose amounting to20 μg/mouse were prepared for histopathological analysis. To assessbiodistribution of complexes post IT spray, in vitro luciferaseproduction was measured in the organs prepared from the euthanized micetreated with doses corresponding to 5 and 10 μg C12-200 based NPs permouse.

A. IT Spray of Naked mRNA and mRNA in C12-200 Based Nanoparticles—20 ugPer Mouse

Lipid Nanoparticle Formulation: Aliquots of 50 mg/mL ethanolic solutionsof C12-200, DOPE, Choleterol, and DMG-PEG2000 were mixed in a molarratio of 40:30:25:5, respectively, and diluted with ethanol to 3 mLfinal volume. Separately, an aqueous buffered solution (10 mMcitrate/150 mM NaCl, pH 4.5) of FFL or modified FFL mRNA was preparedfrom a 1 mg/mL stock. The lipid solution was injected rapidly into theaqueous mRNA solution and shaken to yield a final suspension in 20%ethanol. The resulting nanoparticle suspension was filtered,diafiltrated with 1×PBS (pH 7.4), concentrated and stored at 2-8° C.

Messenger RNA was synthesized via in vitro transcription process using acDNA template encoding FFL protein with predetermined untranslatedregions. The resulting RNA construct was processed further incorporatinga Cap 1 structure on the 5′ end and a poly-A tail length of ˜200adenosine bases.

Modified messenger RNA was synthesized in a similar fashion as statedabove with 25% of the uridine bases substituted with 2-thiouridinetriphosphate and 25% of the cytidine bases substituted with5-methylcytidine triphosphate.

Female Balb/c mice were purchased from Elevage-Janvier, France. The micewere 10 weeks old at the start of the experiment. Mice were weighedprior to the start of the experiment and assigned to one of thefollowing four group (n=6 mice per group): group I-IT spray with FFLmRNA; group II-IT spray with modified FFL mRNA; group III-IT spray withFFL-mRNA in C12-200 based lipid nanoparticle; group IV-IT spray withmodified FFL-mRNA in C12-200 based lipid nanoparticle. Each mouse wassprayed with 20 μg of the respective mRNA/NPs. The required amount ofmRNA/NPs per group were suspended just before application in DEPCtreated (0.1%) RNase free water (Serva, Catalog number: 39798, LotP060383), to a total volume of 50 μl/mouse. NPs were also characterizedby size and zeta potential measurements. These measurements wereperformed in water and are tabulated as Table 5.

TABLE 5 Particle size and zeta potential measurements made in PBS Size(nm) ± polydispersity Zeta Potential FFL-NP 81.64 ± 0.177   +50 ± 6.36FFL-mod-NP 84.14 ± 0.197 +52.5 ± 16.2

Luciferase production was measured by in vivo BLI at 6 hours postapplication. Whereas almost negligible amount of exogenous mRNA-derivedprotein could be detected with naked mRNA, the nanoparticleformulations, independent of modifications, showed significant levels ofluciferase production in the entire thoracic region and upper abdomen(FIG. 1). Compared to modified FFL, the unmodified FFL mRNA resulted inapproximately 2-3 fold higher luminescence at 6 hours (FIG. 2).

(FIGS. 1A and B), very low (close to background) level luminescencecould be detected with naked mRNA. In mice treated with lipidnanoparticles, independent of modifications, increased luciferaseproduction (˜2-3 fold), compared to 6 hour time point, was observed 24hours after treatment (FIGS. 3A and B). No significant difference couldbe observed between luciferase production from FFL or modified FFL mRNA(FIG. 3C).

The mice treated with naked mRNA, were followed further in theexperiment and two additional doses at weekly intervals were applied.BLI was performed at different time points post application. The BLIimages at 24 hours post application, the time point of maximumluminescence (FIG. 3), are shown in FIG. 4 (naked FFL mRNA) and FIG. 5(naked modified FFL mRNA). With a few exceptions, no noticeableluciferase production was observed for any of the measured mice (comparethe scales in FIGS. 4 and 5 with FIG. 3).

B. IT Spray of FFL and Modified FFL mRNA in C12-200 BasedNanoparticles—5 μg Per Mouse and 10 μg Per Mouse

IT spray experiments were performed with reduced doses of 5 and 10μg/mouse. The C12-200 based nanoparticle formulation was as described inExample 1.

Experimental Design: Female Balb/c mice were purchased fromElevage-Janvier, France. The mice were 19 weeks old at the start of theexperiment. Mice were weighed prior to the start of the experiment. TheC12-200 based lipid nanoparticles were suspended just before applicationin DEPC treated (0.1%) RNase free water (Serva, Catalog number: 39798,Lot P060383), to a total volume of 50 μl/mouse. The following fourgroups were tested (n=5 mice per group): group I-IT spray with FFL mRNAin C12-200 based nanoparticles (5 μg/mouse); group II-IT spray with FFLmRNA in C12-200 based nanoparticles (10 μg/mouse); group III-IT spraywith modified FFL mRNA in C12-200 based nanoparticles (5 μg/mouse); andgroup IV IT spray with modified FFL mRNA in C12-200 based nanoparticles(10 μg/mouse). One mouse from group III and IV died during IT spray.Thus, the remaining number of animals for these groups was four. At 6hours post application, all animals showed piloerection and reducedmotility. Moreover, one mouse from each of the higher dose groups(groups II and IV) was dead at this time point. BLI imaging wasperformed for the mice at 6 hours post application.

Using FFL mRNA at the doses of 5 μg/mouse resulted in extremely lowlevels of luciferase production. With the 10 μg/mouse dose, greaterproduction was observed which was concentrated in the liver (FIG. 6A).The difference between the applied doses was not very evident in themodified FFL mRNA groups (FIG. 6B). Comparing the mice from group II(FFL mRNA) with group IV (modified FFL mRNA) revealed higherluminescence in the former (compare FIG. 6A panel 1, 2 with panel 1 inFIG. 6B).

Luciferase production at 24 hours was significantly enhanced compared to6 hours post IT spray (FIGS. 7A and 7B). Moreover, higher production wasobserved using FFL mRNA as compared to modified FFL mRNA (FIG. 7C).Similar results were obtained in Example 1 with the dose of 20 μg/mouse.Internal organs (heart, liver, lungs, liver, spleen and kidney) werefrozen in liquid nitrogen for in-vitro luciferase measurements.

Biodistribution after IT spray: The isolated organs were homogenized inthe frozen state using a mortar and pestel, weighed and lysed in asolution containing Lysis-buffer (25 mM TRIS-Cl 0.1% Triton x-100; pH7.4) and Complete-Protease-Inhibitor (Roche). Spleen, heart and kidneyswere lysed in 250 μl, whereas lungs and liver were lysed in 400 μl.After incubation on ice for 20 min, samples were centrifuged at 10.000rpm, 4° C. for 10 min. Luciferase activity was measured using 100 μl ofthe supernatant. Each sample was measured in duplicates and mean valuesfrom duplicates were used in analysis. All organs except the kidneyswere positive for luciferase activity (FIG. 8). In accordance with ourBLI data, maximum luminescence was observed in liver and lungs. FFL-mRNAresulted in higher protein production compared to modified-FFL-mRNA anda dose dependency was evident.

C. IT Spray of Modified FFL mRNA in HGT5001 Based Nanoparticles-201 μgPer Mouse

An IT spray experiment was performed with an HGT5001 based nanoparticleformulation.

Lipid nanoparticle formulation: Aliquots of 50 mg/mL ethanolic solutionsof HGT5001:DOPE:Cholesterol:DMG-PEG2K were mixed in a molar ratio of40:20:35:5, respectively, and diluted with ethanol to 3 mL final volume.Separately, an aqueous buffered solution (10 mM citrate/150 mM NaCl, pH4.5) of FFL or modified FFL mRNA was prepared from a 1 mg/mL stock. Thelipid solution was injected rapidly into the aqueous mRNA solution andshaken to yield a final suspension in 20% ethanol. The resultingnanoparticle suspension was filtered, diafiltrated with 1×PBS (pH 7.4)followed by distilled RNAse-free water, concentrated and stored at 2-8°C.

Experimental Design: Female Balb/c mice were purchased fromElevage-Janvier, France. The mice were 13 weeks old at the start of theexperiment. Mice were weighed prior to the start of the experiment. Thelipid nanoparticles were suspended just before application in DEPCtreated (0.1%) RNase free water (Serva, Catalog number: 39798. LotP060383), to a total volume of 50 μl/mouse.

IT Spray and BLI: Each mouse was IT sprayed with 20 μg of the HGT5001based nanoparticle formulation in a total volume of 50 μl/mouse. BLIimaging was performed for the mice at 6 hrs post application.

Significantly lower luminescence values were observed with the HGT5001based nanoparticles when compared to the corresponding time point withthe C12-200 based nanoparticles and no increase in protein productionfrom 6 to 24 hours was observed (FIG. 9 and FIG. 10).

In an independent experiment testing C12-200 and HGT5001 basednanoparticle formulations, following BLI imaging (FIG. 11), mice wereeuthanized and organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen and kidney) wereevaluated by histology (FIG. 12). FFL production was confirmed in thelung and liver for both C12-200 based NPs and HGT5011 based NPs.

D. IT Spray of Modified FFL mRNA—Non-Nanoparticle Delivery

Naked mRNA resulted in low efficiency without perfluorocarbon treatment.IT aerosolization of encapsulated mRNA lead to protein production inlungs, liver, spleen, and heart. FFL and modified FFL were equallyefficient with respect to protein production and with a dose-response.

Various delivery vehicles were tested, including polethylenimines (L-PEI22 kDa, br-PEI 25 kDa), copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methylether methacrylate (OEGMA) and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate(DMAEMA), MLRI:DOPE, DOTAP, DMRIE-C, and Lipofectamine, and did not showluminescence in non-lung cells. In contrast, C12-200 and HGT5001 basedlipid nanoparticle formulations resulted in significant proteinproduction in non-lung cells following pulmonary delivery.

These observations indicate that only the nanoparticle formulations wereable to translocate intact, by either active or passive means, from thelung to the systemic blood supply and subsequently to be deposited indifferent tissues, such as the liver. This translocation of an intactmRNA encoding a cytosolic protein, firefly luciferase, constitutesnon-invasive systemic delivery of an active pharmaceutical ingredientbeyond the lung to result in the production of a functional protein tosystemically accessible tissues.

E. Nebulization of Modified FFL mRNA with PEI Based Lipid Nanoparticles

Mice that received modified FFL mRNA in PEI based nanoparticles showedluminescence in the lung (FIG. 13). Luciferase production was greaterwith modified FFL mRNA (panels 1, 2) compared to unmodified FFL mRNA(panels 3, 4).

Example 2: Evaluation of Nanoparticle Migration by Measuring Lipid inNon-Lung Target Cells

To identify the passage of intact nanoparticles in non-lung tissues,aliquots of 50 mg/mL ethanolic solutions of C12-200, DOPE, Chol,DMG-PEG2000 and1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(lissamine rhodamineB sulfonyl) (ammonium salt) are mixed in a molar ratio of 40:29:25:5:1,respectively, and diluted with ethanol to 3 mL final volume. Separately,an aqueous buffered solution (10 mM citrate/50 mM NaCl, pH 4.5) ofnon-secreted protein, such as beta-galactosidase or FFL (modified orunmodified) mRNA is prepared from a 1 mg/mL stock. The lipid solution isinjected rapidly into the aqueous mRNA solution and shaken to yield afinal suspension in 20% ethanol. The resulting nanoparticle suspensionis filtered, diafiltrated with 1× PBS (pH 7.4), concentrated and storedat 2-8° C.

Messenger RNA is synthesized via in vitro transcription process using acDNA template encoding beta-galactosidase or FFL protein withpredetermined untranslated regions. The resulting mRNA construct isprocessed further incorporating a Cap 1 structure on the 5′ end and apoly-A tail length of ˜200 adenosine bases.

Modified messenger RNA is synthesized in a similar fashion as statedabove with 25% of the uridine bases substituted with 2-thiouridinetriphosphate and 25% of the cytidine bases substituted with5-methylcytidine triphosphate.

Female Balb/c mice are purchased from Elevage-Janvier, France. The miceare 10 weeks old at the start of the experiment. Mice are weighed priorto the start of the experiment. Each mouse is sprayed with 20 μg of therespective mRNA/NPs comprising unmodified and modified mRNA influorescently labeled C12-200 based lipid nanoparticles. The mRNAencapsulated nanoparticles are suspended just before application in DEPCtreated (0.1%) RNase free water (Serva, Catalog number: 39798, LotP060383), to a total volume of 50 μl/mouse. Six hours after treatmentmice are killed and organs are excised for histological examination ofNP distribution by fluorescence microscopy on 6 μm cryosections.

Alternatively, mRNA is radioactively labeled with, e.g. I¹²³ accordingto the method of Commerford as described in detail by Terebesi et al(Terebesi J, Kwok K Y, Rice KG. Anal Biochem. 1998 Oct. 1;263(1):120-3). The labeling mixture is separated using a PD-10 gelfiltration column (Amersham Biosciences, Freiburg. Germany) with wateras eluent. The iodinated mRNA is mixed with unlabeled mRNA resulting inthe desired amounts of mRNA which is formulated with lipids as describedabove and IT aerosolized to the mice lungs. At a desired time point,mice are killed and radioactivity of the organs is measured using agamma counter.

The above examples demonstrate mRNA can be effectively delivered tonon-lung cells or tissues through pulmonary administration using themethods and compositions described herein. In the representativeexamples above, mRNA delivery was evaluated using the fluorescentfirefly luciferase reporter protein encoded by a codon optimizedsequence of modified mRNA. However, it will be appreciated by thoseskilled in the art, that such examples are merely representative of awide range of mRNAs and proteins that can be delivered according to thepresent invention. In particular, it will be readily apparent to oneskilled in the art that the compositions and methods of the currentinvention may be used to delivery mRNA encoding various therapeuticproteins to non-lung cells or tissues within a subject for the treatmentof associated diseases, disorders or conditions.

From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easilyascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changesand modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages andconditions.
